Album Notes

Here is the latest! With this 2005 release, Todd has released his newest CD, part three of his piano trilogy titled, "Lifescapes, scenes of our lives". In this dramatic collection of fourteen piano compositions written and recorded on a restored 1917 Artimus upright baby grand piano, he masterfully captures the significant milestones of our lives from birth to passing.

With this CD, he captures the very beautiful songs of love with "The Joy of My Heart", "Joline's Walk" (written as a wedding march for his niece), and "Under Starlight". He stirs our emotions with "Looking Back", "What Might have Been", and "Celebration of a Life" (written in memory of his sister-in-law). Todd reflects on our passions with "Life's Great Adventure", "Circle of Life" and "A Life with Passion". He captures our imagination with the Native, Western, and Bluegrass imagery of "Black Bear, My Spirit Guide", "Lovelock" (named for the town), and "Passing the Signposts". This album showcases Todd's many different styles and influences and takes his listener on a musical journey.

Come enjoy what has already been called "his greatest work yet" and "absolutely fantastic"! Listen to what reviewer Richard Fuller calls, "meditative music that most composers can only dream of writing".
